Testimonials
Master Coles’ dedication to his students and to the teaching and practice of Martial Arts is unsurpassed. He is extremely reliable, responsible and takes pride in everything he does. He also encourages those qualities in others by helping them accomplish their goals through hard work and with a positive attitude.
By opening his own school, Master Coles will not only fulfill a personal dream but it will also be a boon to the Bethesda/Chevy Chase community. In this case the words “if you build it, they will come” couldn’t ring truer.

We soon found out that Martial Arts is not just another sport and that Master Coles is not just a Martial Arts teacher; he is a superb role model and mentor to our children in a way that you just don’t find with any other sport.

Master Coles has been a great inspiration to my three children. They are more focused and work harder at Tae Kwon Do than they do at any other sport or hobby. They are learning life lessons that they just can not get in any other activity.
